I took a short backpacking trip to Point Reyes two weekends ago and was able to take a few pictures of the local wildlife (and there is plenty of it).

On our way up to the Drake's Beach area, we got caught up in a really cool "fog storm". These guys were a few hundred feet off the side of the road and feeding.

This little one was surprisingly one of the first to spot me

Later on, we took a hike to the Chimney Rock lookout

You are first greeted with a nice view of the "white cliffs of Drake's Beach" if you get a decent enough day.

These two were frolicking around and enjoying the views

Later we stalked a small herd of Tule Elk up over a ridge and just sat around and watched them for about 40 minutes.

hey what wt. rod did you use??????
they look like they could put up one heck of a fight.....
unhooking them might be a hassel better smash the barbs down real good.
that new bluegill rod might work for that one in the last pick.....
all kidding aside Great shots.... keep em coming for us that have to work more than play

Paul.......

I erased them off of photobucket without thinking that they were being used by this forum...
